Sixteen-year-old phenom Cavan Sullivan is rewriting MLS history as the youngest ever to sign and debut for the Philadelphia Union, breaking Freddy Adu’s record — all while insisting his life remains gloriously normal, thanks to his mom’s constant supervision. Since the World Cup break, he’s exploded onto the scene with 3 goals and 3 assists in 5 games, turning around the Union’s season and making them playoff contenders under new interim coach Ryan Richter, who gave him the trust and confidence he needed. With his older brother Quinn back from injury and national legends like Tim Howard calling him ready for the U.S. Men’s National Team, Sullivan stays grounded, focused on his own growth — and keeping it real.
